Cut food waste, save money and help the environment

Posted: March 6, 2014

Scotland throws away 630,000 tonnes of food and drink from our homes every year and most of this could have been eaten. Reducing this waste would save £470 a year for the average household – almost £40 every month.

That’s why a new campaign from the Scottish Government is encouraging people across Scotland to cut their food waste and recycle what we can’t use. Let’s create a greener, cleaner Scotland now and for the future. For tips and advice, visit www.greenerscotland.org/eat-greener-avoid-waste/food-waste.
